We can say that the climate seems to be more extreme of late, right? Disregarding data in a knee-jerk way is no better than bending it to an agenda.

One would think by now we would be more apt to measure life in terms of quality, not duration. Evidently not.

I always assumed as much, though in a slightly different way...

No such thing as numbers.

None for the Black Speech? I call puritanical bias! D is for Darkness!

Karl looks like a muppet.

Please forgive this totally unrelated and untoward comment, but somehow using Bollywood, Training, and Montage in the same headline is causing a weird mental thing for me. Three times now hitting the back button I have seen this headline and registered the word "Bondage", only to glance back and realize the word…

I'm amazed they skipped the cavity search. Come on flatfeet, don't let the TSA outpig you! At least we were spared the horror of seeing a bare vagina.

Try this experiment. Find a Donny Osmond* poster. Tack it up over your Justin Bieber poster. Step back. Try and and put yourself in a mental place where you think he's a musical genius and totally sexy.

They make those? Wow, might be uncomfortable, but I guess it would be handy for naturists or maybe keep cond... oh, wait, Birkin... not Merkin... right... sorry. never mind.

Try writing a book and using "The Orange Riders", or "The Pink Speech" to create mood. Black is darkness, primal fear, all the way back to when we had tails and were cowering in the nooks of trees afraid something was going to swoop in from the night and eat us. Twist it into racial stereotypes all you want, but…

Sure, it's not rigged. It's a totally honest competition where the prettiest, most popular girl gets prizes for being the prettiest and most popular. Granted, that would be the textbook definition of rigged in every single other endeavor in the world, but hey, ultra-rich guys have to have some way of finding trophy…

Some words are kinda beyond that, I think. Fat, especially now that it is so acceptable, even liberally fashionable, to hold a dim view of things, is hard to see as anything but negative. I really like your view, don't get me wrong, but I don't think many people are emotionally able to stand up to it like that,…

The problem isn't getting normal bodies out into the open, it's what's said about the images thereafter. We're going to have to stop the fat, fat, fatty fat, are you fat, have you been fat, how can you eat less to be less fat talk and shaming before anything actually gets done.

That looks more like pastry glaze. Who could possibly have that much semen? RHETORICAL: DON'T ANSWER I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
